Resampling estimation of discrete choice models

Michel Bierlaire, Matthieu Marie Cochon de Lapparent, Nicola Marco Ortelli

In the context of discrete choice modeling, the extraction of potential behavioral insights from large datasets is often limited by the poor scalability of maximum likelihood estimation. This paper proposes a simple and fast dataset-reduction method that i ...

Is There a Cap on Longevity? A Statistical Review

Anthony Christopher Davison, Léo Raymond-Belzile

There is sustained and widespread interest in understanding the limit, if there is any, to the human life span. Apart from its intrinsic and biological interest, changes in survival in old age have implications for the sustainability of social security sys ...

The New Brutalism, invenzione di uno stile

Silvia Groaz

The concept of New Brutalism has been the victim of a series of misunderstandings, myths and aporias. The initial intentions, devoid of any principle or dogma, have passed from hand to hand. The original definitionâ if only one can be identifiedâ has be ...

Adaptive hot water production based on Supervised Learning

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Dolaana Khovalyg, Amirreza Heidari

A major challenge in the common approach of hot water generation in residential houses lies in the highly stochastic nature of domestic hot water (DHW) demand. Learning hot water use behavior enables water heating systems to continuously adapt to the stoch ...

Inference methods for the study of interacting biological oscillators in single-cells

Colas Noé Droin

Biological oscillators are pervasive in biology, covering all aspects of life from enzyme kinetics reactions to population dynamics. Although their behaviour has been intensively studied in the last decades, the recent advances of high-throughput experimen ...

Computable Bounds on the Exploration Bias

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Ibrahim Issa

Adaptive data analysis is known to introduce bias in reported measurements. Russo and Zou [1] recently introduced an information-theoretic framework to study this problem. Herein, this framework is adopted and new dependence measures are introduced to boun ...

Statistical Unfolding Of Elementary Particle Spectra: Empirical Bayes Estimation And Bias-Corrected Uncertainty Quantification

Victor Panaretos, Mikael Johan Kuusela

We consider the high energy physics unfolding problem where the goal is to estimate the spectrum of elementary particles given observations distorted by the limited resolution of a particle detector. This important statistical inverse problem arising in da ...

Influenza Virus Drug Resistance: A Time-Sampled Population Genetics Perspective

Jeffrey David Jensen, Matthieu Foll, Claudia Bank, Hyunjin Shim

Author Summary In recent years, considerable attention has been given to the evolution of drug resistance in the influenza A H1N1 strain. As a major annual cause of morbidity and mortality, combined with the rapid global spread of drug resistance, influenz ...

On the relationship between total ozone and atmospheric dynamics and chemistry at mid-latitudes - Part 1: Statistical models and spatial fingerprints of atmospheric dynamics and chemistry

Anthony Christopher Davison, Linda Frossard

We use statistical models for mean and extreme values of total column ozone to analyze "fingerprints" of atmospheric dynamics and chemistry on long-term ozone changes at northern and southern mid-latitudes on grid cell basis. At each grid cell, the r-large ...

Extreme rainfall in West Africa: A regional modeling

Juliette Ferial Blanchet

In a world of increasing exposure of populations to natural hazards, the mapping of extreme rainfall remains a key subject of study. Such maps are required for both flood risk management and civil engineering structure design, the challenge being to take i ...

On-chip two-phase cooling of datacenters: Cooling system and energy recovery evaluation

John Richard Thome, Jackson Braz Marcinichen, Jonathan Olivier

Cooling of datacenters is estimated to have an annual electricity cost of 1.4 billion dollars in the United States and 3.6 billion dollars worldwide. Currently, refrigerated air is the most widely used means of cooling datacenter’s servers, which typically ...

User-level Internet tomography and overlay routing

Xuan Hung Nguyen

In this thesis, we study methods to detect, localize and overcome performance problems experienced by end-users in communication networks. These problems are extremely difficult to solve when the only available information are end-to-end data. We first con ...

Border urban intermediation in the Dominican Republic : three case studies

Humberto Aroldo Dilla

This study is comprised of seven chapters including a final part of conclusions. The First Chapter attempts to bring this topic into the current debate on the main aspects discussed by the thesis, vis-à-vis urban intermediation in border situations within ...

Anisotropy factor of saturated and unsaturated soils

Dani Or

Variations in the degree of anisotropy in soil hydraulic conductivity with changes in water saturation (S-e) may adversely impact predictability of flow and transport processes. The conceptual "layered cake'' model was extended to consider effects of bulk ...
